Intelligence Community Revises Stance on Havana Syndrome's Possible Foreign Origins

New findings from two U.S. intelligence agencies suggest a foreign actor may have developed a weapon linked to Havana Syndrome, though most agencies remain skeptical.

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report revising earlier conclusions that dismissed foreign involvement in Havana Syndrome cases.
Two intelligence agencies now assess a 'roughly even chance' that a foreign actor developed or used a novel weapon causing symptoms in some cases.
The broader intelligence consensus still considers it 'very unlikely' that a foreign actor is responsible for the majority of reported incidents.
Victims and some officials continue to push for greater acknowledgment of foreign culpability, citing Russia as a likely suspect based on classified intelligence and historical context.
The findings reignite debates in Congress and among victims, with calls for further investigation and support for those affected.
